Description
Four Saturdays, Feb 3-24, 10:30am-1:30pm
Open to all
Limited to 15 participants
Hybrid Workshop*
This series of four workshops will examine how writers with projects for print, spoken word, or storytelling can develop a strong literary arts grant application. From drafting a project description to balancing a budget, we will also discuss artistic risk, impact, and cultural appropriation. Focus will be on funding programs at the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), and an arts council program officer will join us to answer questions. This series is information-heavy and intended for Quebec-based writers at all stages of their practice: emerging, mid-career, or established. Participants must have an original literary arts project in mind in order to focus their efforts and be prepared to complete tasks between sessions.
Access to MS Word or similar writing software will be necessary as well as a willingness to share work, and give and receive feedback in a workshop setting.
As soon as they have registered for the workshop, participants should email a short, one-sentence description of their current literary arts project to riley@qwf.org with the subject line “For Tawhida Tanya Evanson.”
*This workshop will take place at the QWF Office (Room 3, 1200 Atwater Avenue, Westmount, Quebec) with up to 2 virtual spots for participants who are unable to attend in-person. By default, all workshop registrations are for in-person spots. If you would like to attend the workshop via Zoom, first email Riley (riley@qwf.org) to see if online spots are still available for this workshop, and then wait for confirmation. Virtual spots are limited and are reserved for people who either live outside Montreal or have a medical condition.
